U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia

The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia serves as the federal venue and court of record for Toby Ziegler's Freedom Watch deposition.

This jurisdiction frames terse questions, enforces relevancy rules, and elevates personal stakes in the legal clash.
